Check local availability
Tell us about your tile project. We review each request by hand and, if an independent local installer is available, we put you in touch. Submitting does not guarantee availability.
We do not do the work. Independent local tile installers do, and you contract directly with the one you choose.
West Jordan splits by the age of the subdivision, and a heated floor feels that split at the panel and at the subfloor. Near Redwood Road and Gardner Village the houses are old enough that a new circuit usually has to be run to reach the bathroom at all. West toward Bangerter the builds are recent and the panel is rarely the problem, but the floors are framed to long spans and can still be soft, and an element set over a subfloor that flexes is an element that can fail before the tile does.
What this covers
- Electric mat systems under bathroom floors
- Loose cable laid to fit an irregular room
- Heat under kitchen, entry, and basement tile
- Floor sensor and thermostat placement
- Self-leveling or mortar bed over the element
- Heated floors as part of a full tile install
What affects the scope
Every tile job is different, and the independent installer who does the work sets their own price. These are the things they will usually need to know before they can estimate:
- The heated square footage, which is the usable floor and not the whole room
- Whether the system is a prefabricated mat or loose cable set by hand
- How the element is covered, since a mortar bed and a self-leveler are different work
- Where the thermostat goes and how far the floor sensor has to run
- Whether the existing floor is coming out first
- Whether the room is being fully retiled or only the floor is changing
Worth asking any installer directly: are you licensed and insured for this work, what waterproofing system do you use, what is your estimate and what does it include, when could you start, and what happens if something is not right afterwards?

Scope and licensing: The heating element is set by the tile installer, but connecting it to the electrical supply is licensed electrical work in Utah and a separate trade. A dedicated circuit is commonly required, which is an electrician's call and not a tile question. Related reading: Does a tile installer need a license in Utah?

Questions
Frequently asked
How much does a heated tile floor cost in West Jordan?
Scope tracks the age of the subdivision: an older bathroom near Redwood Road often means a new circuit run a long way from a panel that was not planned for it, while a newer home west of Bangerter may need the subfloor stiffened before any element goes down, and in both the heated area and the mat or cable decision carry the rest. Taylorsville Tile Co. does not set prices. If an independent local installer is available for your job, that installer gives you their own estimate and you agree it directly with them before any work starts.
Does a newer West Jordan floor need stiffening before a heating element goes in?
Sometimes, and it is worth checking rather than assuming. Framing built to the minimum span can feel solid to walk on and still deflect enough under load to crack a mortar bed, and a crack that runs across the element is the worst place for one, because the break is under finished tile. The installer checks joist size and span and adds a layer or blocking where the floor feels soft, before anything is embedded. Continuity of the element is read before, during, and after the tile goes on for the same reason.
